I can only say...bizarre. They have a beat up table they want $5,900 for. I cannot fathom the strategy in this.

Did Singer ever do door to door sales?

EDIT: Looks like there's an open model 20 and an enclosed one. The one in the ad is the enclosed one.
I'm used to seeing the open model.

I have the same cabinet, minus a machine, that I got for free from my sister. Does need cleaning up but I can do that come warmer weather plus time & ambition.

I had to laugh when I saw this listing on e-bay. It was for a 1951 Singer 15-91, listed for $800.11. It was a centennial edition, but I still think someone is attached to this machine, considering the price listed. I admit I'm not experienced as to the value of some of these machines (actually, most of them), but that price seems really high! Am I wrong?

Normally I don't like to comment on prices - yup they are attached

The base is too small for the top, imo.

Wonder if the seller knows it's made from parts of other things? I'm sure it's "vintage" in someone cut up the treadle 60 years ago to make this.
